But I would still not be that positive about their performance since we are still talking about Manchester United vs. Ipswich Town. If they can't beat a a team like Ipswich, then who can they beat? That is why I think that this was rather a disappointment then any progress whatsoever.

Liverpool can soon celebrate the title. It's crazy how none of their competitors can keep up. Quite hard to believe and Liverpool probably did not expect to be that far ahead and the next game is against Manchester City. If they win that game, how on earth would anyone still close the gap this season?

hahaha quite a ticklish question, because people's expectations of Ruben Amorin are so high, even people are euphoric before Manchester United competes and say this will be a big win for Man United. but what happened when the match was in progress, Manchester United failed to win the match they should have won, because Ipswisch is a team that is considered not too strong for this season.

However, we must be fair as fans, Ruben Amorin has only been with Manchester United for two weeks and they have only faced one match with Amorin. He still needs time to adapt and make changes in Manchester United's body. But of course we hope that this adaptation will not take too long, considering the team's position which is in a less than good position, and whether it is in the premier league or in the uefa league.

With the way things are going, Liverpool looks like the biggest candidate even more clearly after today. They have the gap at 8 points after today, I do think that City will recover and do better, but I am not sure how much better they will get, will they get 8+ points gap closing levels of better? I do not think so, but you never know in world of football. Still, Liverpool having this much gap is insane, and only within 12 games as well, so we are not even halfway into the season and they already have 8 points gap, that's a lot in such a short amount of game. Lets see how they will go, but I believe we are going to end up seeing Liverpool have a monumental season without many issues.

The earlier everyone realize that glory days does not last a lifetime the better we will not be bothered about how big teams are messaging up big time these days. Its sad that their fans still expect them to play at their highest efficiency when in fact time, season, new players and coaches come onboard and things change. Lets also don't forget that team understanding and dynamics changes. When a big team lacks this quality they often go through difficult time. The problem with Manchester City comes from a slight mistake Pep Guardiola did. But funny enough he is putting all his anger on the innocent players who did their best.

I know by now, Haaland would be humble after using the word against Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta. Now karma hits him so hard. They have lost straight five games and he was only able to score few goals in the game. Against Tottenham he has 0 goal. His stats on number of goal is depreciating every match week.

As I previously suspected, if Amorim will implement a system that has become his standard for the Manchester United squad. Like in Sporting, he uses 3 defenders, 4 midfielders and 3 players in the front line. So it is clear that United's players need to adjust to the new program implemented by Ruben Amorim. At least, Amorim or his team needs adjustments to reach their level of play. From the statistics we can also see it, some of the main players who are starters cannot play optimally. For example, Garnaco who plays on the wing, Eriksen and also Casemiro. In addition, Amorim also tries to give the opportunity to play to several others to optimize the system he applies, we can see it through quick changes in the early minutes of the second half, some players who are not optimal are pulled out. Like in previous matches, United were actually able to take the lead first but they also had difficulty maintaining their advantage which often ended in a draw and even a loss. So, it seems that to achieve the game as desired by Amorim at least it takes time. next, Amorim will play his second match with his team in the Europa League and we will see the performance of the Manchester United players again, perhaps there will be changes. on the other hand, the home team was able to put up a fight, even they were not inferior in terms of opportunities. but unfortunately, a draw was not enough to bring Ipswich Town to a safe position in the Premier League table.

So, what changed at Manchester United when Ruben Amorim came? They scored in the 2nd minute but only managed to draw the game. When Ruud van Nistelrooy was in charge, he won the game. Maybe it would have been better if he had stayed in charge. Anyway, it might be too early to talk. Amorim needs time to reflect the game he wants, but Manchester United can't afford to lose any more points. 12th place is an embarrassment for them. I don't know what can explain the lack of success when they have so much income and spend so much money. Amorim can't be criticized from the first game, but it's clear that he hasn't made a start that makes people dream.

I won't lie the expectations for the new guy to atleast get a victory today was much from end although am still not convinced to a great deal because when it comes to Manchester united it's always a story of two sides because they are never stable with their performance so seeing what they will do in their next game is a must watch and also a means to get better scaling of the progress level of the team.

Not having enough play time at a club is a good reason for a player to want to exit the team to a team where they will get enough play time and showcase their talent, Manchester United will probably give him that privilege because he plays in. Position that is very vital and will definitely be important to Manchester United and I was thinking the fact that he's got the passion and love for PSG would be something they would capitalize on to allow him show how much he can be of important to the team.

In as much as I agree with you that not all loses are affiliated to the manager, this particular game actually points out the outcry many people have been doing that this certain group of players are finding it hard to actually implement the manager’s instructions into the game, today in the first five minutes Manchester United were actually playing the game that manager sent them but after few minutes they immediately switched off which clearly shows that the manager has a lot of work to do to actually implement his pattern into them. Also this game clearly shows that some of these players are definitely not going to cope with this type of games.

Ipswich on the hand are currently one of the best ball playing club in the league, they outplayed not just Manchester United but had already made the games difficult for the like of Liverpool Manchester City and even Tottenham so to me Amorim isn’t starting badly although  a win will have been better but even Ferguson didn’t win his first match

Despite failing to build perfect momentum by securing full points, Manchester United looked more enthusiastic, and the manager did need time to adapt to his new environment. By carrying a 3-4-2-1 formation, Manchester United players also had to adjust to the strategy. Ipswich Town were lucky to score an equalizer after being surprised by Marcus Rashford quick goal.

Expectations for Ruben Amorim looked very high, and I think that makes sense, where Manchester United fans have often been disappointed in the Ten Hag era. Next, Ruben Amorim must shift his focus to another important match, against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. A match that gives the former Sporting CP manager another chance to claim his first win with Manchester United.

They had good displays from the attackers,  the only thing lacking was the midfielders, who lacked pace and energy to outsmart the other side. They started the game with high intensity but couldn't keep up with it when under pressure. I knew from.the start it was a game one should not be expectant about. Lots of improvements can still come in but not with some certain lazy players within the squad. The pacy midfielders Ipswich had helped them won the midfield battle for utd.

Expecting a surprise, it turned out that Manchester United did not perform optimally in this match. They took the lead in the early minutes of the match through a goal scored by M. Rashford, I think this is a good sign, where Man United will score many goals in this match. The goal was replied towards the end of the first half and the score was tied. And that was the last goal scored in this match, Man United failed to take advantage of their advantage.

and regarding Liverpool, they performed very consistently in every match, even with a very tight match schedule. They are unbeaten in several matches, and one thing that was unexpected was when they lost narrowly to Nottingham Forest this season.

Salah again led his team out of the woodwork, earning 3 points in a game they could have lost. He scored 10 goals and assisted 6 in the league this season. Haaland has 12 goals. I think Haaland is arguably the bigger goalscorer, but in terms of impact on the team, Salah is much more important for Liverpool. Manchester City have many players who can score goals even if Haaland doesn't score. Liverpool don't have that variety.

I think Haaland will be the top goalscorer at the end of the season. I don't know if Manchester City will be the champions though.

No one expected this, Manchester City is a very good team and no one can say that they played badly in this match. In fact, they had many scoring opportunities, many scoring chances but they could not capitalize on them. Then they conceded goals one after another. I would have never guessed that they would concede 4 goals at the end of the match, it was a good victory for Tottenham. Liverpool increased the points difference between them. They are in a very good position on the way to the championship

I was actually looking for my friends that are supporting Manchester City but I could not find them yesterday because they are always looking and saying all manner of things against Arsenal and the table have turned and Arsenal and Manchester are in the same mess and all this that is happening in Manchester city is one way or the other affecting the reputation of pep but you can not always get what you want and imagine Tottenham beating Manchester City who would have believed the lions have been humbled and they don't even have any excuses losing thay game.

And injuries affected everything first and it was an unexpected occurrence because even them did not expect things to turn out the way it did , because from the beginning the middle and the end of the game was a record of goals and from the pattern of playing I was happy because their fans could not withstand what was going on and the way the game ended it ended well. So Manchester City fans needs to stop looking down on other clubs because Manchester city are finding it hard to win a game.

Depending on the performance in the match that has not happened yet because at this time although Haaland's condition is still unable to move in the last few matches but when Manchester City rediscovers their rhythm then Haaland is ready to return to continue to be able to be at the top of the top score for the EPL.

Salah is in good form now but this is also not a guarantee especially with the news about him leaving that always exists in every season (every transfer) then there could be a situation where this competition is abandoned or even a decline in performance occurs.
What is clear for now is that Salah still has a chance but things like this are also not easy because after all Haaland is just waiting for another moment after a few matches do not go well for him.

Mohamed Salah scored 2 goals today.
With the bad moment of Manchester city is not to exclude the possibility for him of winning the strikers leaderboard.

Haalland scored so far 2 more goals but in the latest game he was unable to do so.

Do you think Salah can beat him at the end of the season?

Yea, I'm among people that expect a win from Manchester United because I thought it was going to be an easy match to win because even Ten Hag or Ruud WILL WIN Ipswich Town because they are at the bottom of the table, and their performance so far this season is not impressive.

Amorim did well, but he was expecting to start with a victory, but a draw away from home is not bad, just that with the hype on him, he actually deserve to win this match because he will face tough opponents in his next two matches.

Every player is important in a team; that is why when they get injured, the coaches and fans are not always happy.
Ben White is a key player in Arsenal defence due to his versatility of playing in both full back and right back, and the main problem is that Julian Timber is also an injury-prone player, and Tomiyasu that is supposed to be playing in that role is also on a long-term injury; therefore, I think it is a big threat for Arteta if Timber gets injured, unless he will use Partey in that position.

A very disappointing performance from Manchester United, i keep saying not every of the team losses are affiliated with the coach, the players really need to do more work than the management. The result from this game was bad to the extent Ipswich took possession of the game, shots and targeted attempts. When it was Ten Hag, Manchester United always created better chances and holds the ball even more than they did today, Amorim really started on the wrong foot, didn't win on his first game in the club, second fixture will be against Everton maybe he can make up for the complete points not earned in today's game.

It seems Manchester United is targeting another player and it's the time for Randal Kolo Muani now. Kolo Muani is currently the player of PSG and he playing for this team. His contract will end in 2028.
However, he was happy to join PSG when they sent him an offer we've before he joined this team he said many times that he liked to play for PSG which meant he liked to play in PSG and he preferred to stay there but still Kolo Muani didn't play in PSG since Enrique started working there and he was mostly out of the team which means he can have more chance to play if he jonie Machester United because they need more forwards to improve the team.



Ben White the right-back player of Arsenal had to have surgery and he was injured hard this won't be good for Arteta because he is going to lose another player in this team and this going to effet in Arsenal and their performance in the next games they are going to have.
They also lost their captain Martin Ødegaard and now it seems Arteta cannot use White for a long time because after surgery White needs a long time to get back into the good form and the only way they have in Arsenal is to make some changes to fill the place of White in this team.
